Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed to parties in this proceeding 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce 

has determined, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise in 

accordance with these final results of 

review. Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of these final results. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

For Tianjin Hweschun, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 

entries without regard to antidumping 

duties.11 For entries that were not 

reported in the U.S. sales database 

submitted by Tianjin Hweschun during 

this review, Commerce will instruct 

CBP to liquidate such entries at the 

China-wide rate (i.e., 112.01 percent). 

For the companies identified as part 

of the China-wide entity (i.e., China 

Staple, Shanghai Yueda, and 

Shijiazhuang Shuangming), we will 

instruct CBP to apply the China-wide 

rate to all entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR which were exported by 

these companies. 

For Best Nail/Shaoxing Bohai, Tianjin 

Jinyifeng, and Unicorn Fasteners, which 

Commerce determined had no 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

during the POR, any suspended entries 

that entered under each of these 

exporters’ case numbers (i.e., at that 

exporter’s cash deposit rate) will be 

liquidated at the rate for the China-wide 

entity, consistent with Commerce’s 

assessment practice in non-market 

economy cases.12

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise from China 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date, as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for Tianjin Hweschun will 

be zero; (2) for previously investigated 

or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese 

exporters not listed above that have 

separate rates, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the exporter-specific rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding in 

which they were reviewed; (3) for all 

Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

the China-wide entity (i.e., 112.01 

percent); and (4) for all non-Chinese 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not received their own separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate applicable to the Chinese 

exporter(s) that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These per-unit cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers Regarding the 

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping and/or countervailing 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this POR. Failure 

to comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping and/or 

countervailing duties has occurred and 

the subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties, and/or increase in 

the amount of antidumping duties by 

the amount of the countervailing duties. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to an APO of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of APO materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order, is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results of administrative review 

and notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5). 

Dated: November 30, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Bayh-Dole Act (35 U.S.C. 18) and 

its implementing regulations (37 CFR 

401) allow for recipients of federal 

research funding (Contractors) to retain 

ownership of inventions developed 

under federal funding agreements 

(Subject Inventions). In exchange, the 

government retains certain rights to the 

Subject Invention, including a worldwide right to use by or on behalf of the 

U.S. government, and the Contractor 

also has certain responsibilities and 

obligations. Among these obligations is 

a requirement that in certain 

circumstances products embodying the 

Subject Invention or produced through 

the use of the Subject Invention be 

manufactured substantially in the 

United States. The statute also allows 

the Contractor to request a waiver of this 

obligation if reasonable but 

unsuccessful efforts were made to grant 

licenses on similar terms to potential 

licensees that would be likely to 

manufacture substantially in the United 

States or if under the circumstances 

domestic manufacture is not 

commercially feasible. This information 

collection will be utilized as a common 

form, which will allow other Federal 

agencies to request use. 

II. Method of Collection 

The form will be provided in PDF 

format. It may be submitted to funding 

agencies via email, via an attachment to 

a Domestic Manufacturing Waiver 

Request in the iEdison online reporting 

system if the agency participates in the 

iEdison online reporting system, or via 

other electronic transmission if the 

agency does not participate in the 

iEdison reporting system.
